So you'd like to translate and/or internationalize debconf? Great! Unfortunatly, there are several different peices, that are all handled differently. * First, and most important, are the po files, in the po/ directory. You probably already know how this part works -- see gettext's info page. * Similar is the debian/po/ directory that translates denconf's debconf questions. See the po-debconf documentation for this. * Finally, you might want to translate some of debconf's docs. The man pages are generated from perl POD using po4a. See doc/man/po4a/ Once you have translated file(s), file a bug report to get them include in debconf. Thanks for contributing to debconf! Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org>
